Pet owner, pet hoarders, are not your average pet keepers. They generally try to save all stay cats and dogs, regardless of their living arrangements or ability to pay for the feed.
Soon their houses are filled with 30 or more animals. The dogs are barking and if let out use the neighbors lawns for their potty. The litter boxes are over run and the neighbors are complaining about the noise and smell.
Family members are disgusted and stop coming over to the house. Sometimes homes are found for a few, but more are brought in. And both the animals and the hoarder suffer from lack of air quality and sanitary conditions.
I know of someone who has 35 cats in the house and 26 in the garage. They have kitty poo, in the house and everywhere and friends and family, avoid going to their home. They are linked with the local animal rescue, which from the way their house is I doubt, the animal rescue has ever visited the home.
While these folks are generally very caring animal lovers and want to care for all these animals, they seem unaware of their own health concerns.
Do you know any pet hoarders? How do you feel about this way of trying to save animals? Please share here.
